The 206-year-old freemasons' Lodge of the Three Graces, of Mill Hey, Haworth, opens its doors to the public again on Saturday, August 22, from 10am to 4pm.

The public was last invited to inspect the Masonic Hall premises in December 1994, which proved a great success. The £250 proceeds from the event were presented to Airedale Hospital.

The entrance fee will be a £1 donation to the Lord Mayor's appeal in aid of the hospital's baby unit.

The lodge room will be open for inspection together with the lodge artefacts, regalia, masonic memorabilia, charity records and other items of general interest.

Current master John Boocock and other members of the lodge will welcome visitors and answer any questions they may have.
